Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Cape Verde Islands: Migratory Patterns, Resightings, and Abundance
(2020-01)
Effective conservation of the endangered North Atlantic humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) which breeds in the eastern North Atlantic around the Cape Verde Islands off West Africa requires information about their ...
A landscape classification map of Ireland and its potential use in national land use monitoring
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-04-17)
This study presents a novel landscape classification map of the Republic of Ireland and is the first to identify broad landscape classes by incorporating physiographic and land cover data. The landscape classification ...
Legacy and emerging contaminants in common guillemot Uria aalge eggs in Ireland and Wales
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-06-12)
Guillemot eggs from multiple Irish colonies and one Welsh colony were analysed for legacy pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and other organochlorine compounds (OCs), ...
Drones can reliably, accurately and with high levels of precision, collect large volume water samples and physio-chemical data from lakes
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-02-15)
The rapid development and application of drone technology has included water sampling and collection of physiochemical data from lakes. Previous research has demonstrated the significant potential of drones to play a future ...
Spatio-temporal genetic tagging of a cosmopolitan planktivorous shark provides insight to gene flow, temporal variation and site-specific re-encounters
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-03)
Migratory movements in response to seasonal resources often influence population structure and dynamics. Yet in mobile marine predators, population genetic consequences of such repetitious behaviour remain inaccessible ...
A review of dystrophic lake and pool habitat in Europe: An Irish perspective
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-13)
Freshwater lakes and pools contained within peatlands are unique habitats that support rare and specialised species. Despite this, these ecosystems have been overlooked in conservation and management practices. One of these ...
Elemental composition of illicia and otoliths and their potential application to age validation in white anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius linnaeus, 1758)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-08-20)
The incorporation of trace elements into the calcified structures of fish can vary seasonally. Interpretation of these seasonal signals can provide information about fish age. This approach offers great promise for objectively ...
Investigation of the first recent crayfish plague outbreak in Ireland and its subsequent spread in the Bruskey River and surrounding areas
(EDP Sciences, 2022-06-02)
White-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) is a keystone species found in western European freshwater bodies, where it has suffered drastic declines due to pathogens, competition with nonindigenous crayfish species ...
Evidence of a range expansion in sunfish from 47 years of coastal sightings
(Springer Nature, 2022-01-13)
Almost nothing is known about the historical abundance of the ocean sunfish. Yet as an ecologically and functionally important taxa, understanding changes in abundance may be a useful indicator of how our seas are responding ...
Strong and lasting impacts of past global warming on baleen whales and their prey
(Wiley, 2022-02-02)
Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real-time effects into their long-term consequences remains a challenge. The ...
